We've made these forums available as a read-only reference and knowledge-base for people using or developing editors based on htmlArea 2 or 3.

Anyone who is interested in taking over version 2 or 3 is free to do so. All we ask is that you choose a new name that doesn't have "htmlarea" in it to avoid confusion with this site. We'll even give you a link in the directory to make it easier for people to find you. If you are developing or hosting an htmlArea based-editor under a new name, please submit it to our directory.

Sirs, I use HTMLArea v3.0. Its nice and all, but I have a serious problem with copy-pasting material from Word. It just doesnt go into the database. I use PHP +APAche + MySQL. the MySQL field type is TEXT. Please PLease Please show me a way .Its driving me ,I can't get my project online without it

I tried doing it Its already set to false. Is it the MySQL problem ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? Please tell me. If you can,please tell me how to add data collected from HTMLarea embedded inside a form into a MySQL database. Please.I need help.

Extra info ? Well, when i paste the Word contents into HTmlarea and hit the submit button, the confirm page shows the data is getting added to the database. But in reality it never does get added to the database. The main Index page is supposed to list the latest 3 posts. It never displays the latest post. Thats killing me. I'll send the code if you want to see it. Thanks for replying.

to see if any errors show up when the code is trying to save to the database!

Also, when you just type something in that htmlarea instead of copy pasting it, does it work then or not? If not, then it probably an error in the php script somewhere, not the htmlarea. However, since many developers around here know PHP as well, I'm sure we can find a solution.

JSFormSubmit('yourFormID','<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>'); // Here You can insert other URLs then $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to submit to } // This Code now is only to submit Your Form manually Maybe you use another ---------------------------------

Then You can get th Text from the Textarea if you write <textarea id="textareaid">.....</textarea> with $a = $_POST['textareaid']; !!!! maybe You have to Escape the $a for masql like: !!!! $a = mysql_escape_string($a); I neednt. Now you can insert OR update into your database You can show the $a (echo or so) or print_r($_POST) and controll where the bug is.

hey, First FxF,thanks a lot for taking the pains to reply. Yes, the text TYPED into the HTMLArea editor POSITIVELY GETS ADDED to the database. Its the WORD copy-pasted material that turns out to be a bitc*. I'm trying out various things that you folks have suggested.

hey toaster thanks for posting in ,man. Well i tried the error handling part. Here's what I tried. It gave me an "query is empty" error Well,tell me the code is right. And does that error mean Nothing is going in to the database????? what might cause this error >????
